Elgon Chemist (1034872) - Improvement action plan

Standard not met Reason Action being taken by the Pharmacy By when Notification By Pharmacy Improvements Made
1.1

The pharmacy's standard operating procedures (SOPs) have not been reviewed in over nine years. And it cannot show that all its team members have read the SOPs. This increases the risk that team members are not working in the most safe and efficient way or in line with best practice or current legislation.

The pharmacy is producing a complete, new set of SOPs which will be ready by the end of May 2025.

4.3

The pharmacy does not keep complete records of fridge temperatures and therefore cannot show that medicines requiring cold storage are always stored at the right temperature.

The pharmacy now requires an allocated team member to input fridge temperatures onto the system before the dispensing system can be opened.
